Could 2023 be the year you discover a new artistic passion? Find out with a short course at one of the world's top universities for art and design.
UAL Short Courses offers an extensive range of creative courses which run on evenings and weekends, taught both on campus and online. As well as being a fantastic outlet for self-expression, it's a chance to invest in your future — by picking up skills that could help you transform your career and meeting like-minded people from all over the world.
UAL Short Courses cater to all levels of ability and span subjects like fine art, fashion, interior styling, digital marketing, and more. There are practical courses for those looking to really get their hands dirty, as well as more theory-based learning opportunities.
It's your chance to experience life at one of the University of the Arts London's (UAL) top London colleges, with courses delivered in state-of-the-art studios and digital suites at the likes of the London College of Fashion in Oxford Circus and Central Saint Martins in King's Cross and Chelsea. But don't despair if you can't make it to the capital — many short courses are delivered online, too.
Courses kicking off later this month include a two-day introduction to linocut, photography film & darkroom for beginners, and a sustainable product design course.
Or wait till February to start your learning journey when you'll have the chance to try your hand at patternmaking, children's book illustration, and silk screen printing — to name but a few.
Software-based short courses such as Adobe Premiere Pro Video Editing for Beginners are also available (handy if your CV could do with a bit of a boost), as well as ones that could help you transform artistic passion into a viable career — from digital copywriting to launching your own online fashion business.
Each course is delivered by one of UAL Short Courses' expert tutors, who are all practitioners in their own right. In terms of duration, they range from one-day workshops to a series of classes over several weeks.
Whichever you go for, you'll leave with a certificate on completion, as well as a wealth of new skills and perhaps a few new pals, too. Whether you want to launch a new career, improve the one you already have — or simply want to reap the mental health benefits of getting creative in a positive, supportive environment — UAL Short Courses are the way to go.
UAL Short Courses run throughout the year — see which ones are starting soon and book your place today.
